Tagging, i'll get on this Sunday. Thx for the heads up. By the way how is one selected to sit on the commission?

The governor appoints the members of the Wildlife Commission.   :bdid: :bash: >:(

Our new governor while a member of Congress was HSUS "Legislator of the Year" twice and out of 435 members of the House was rated the worst on sportsmen's issues.

Perry, Douvia, and Wecker are commissioners who are not up for confirmation. That could be bad news if the governor plans to replace them!

Idaho found that 44 deer and 20 elk per wolf are killed each year in their state, the WDFW estimate for ungulate depredation in this state was significantly lower as well.

The comment that should really have hunters pissed off came out of the mouths of the WDFW themselves saying "wolves will likely take up to half the elk slotted for hunters"

Do you know when this was said and by whom, I would like to bring this up at the Colville meeting?
I can't say for deer, but I know when the meeting was held in Spokane, Carter Niemeyer stated that wolves eat 12-22 elk each per year.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

We need  to be able to have forwarning of any actions being considered by the governor regarding remove and replace options of commissioners.  We need to find out if our reps can stall or block appointees that are driven by special interest groups, especially those connected to our governor.  SOmehow......we need to be able to say no, and have it mean something.  As with the WDFW meetings, I really dont think they listen AND consider what we say.....for sure not in Olympia.   :twocents:

And I'll add, my feeling is that those who present the meetings on behalf of WDFW are subservient to those in Olympia.  They attend and present wdfw agenda, but are completely powerless to initiate change or encourage us as a group.  There is an agenda in this state that is way bigger than all of us, and we missed a grand opportunity last election.

http://www.yakimaherald.com/news/966354-8/rural-residents-seek-to-ease-restrictions-on-wolf


Jay Kehne, an Okanogan County commissioner who serves as the county’s outreach coordinator for Conservation Northwest, said it would be a mistake to give citizens the right to shoot a wolf.

“The thing that happened in Twisp to the dog is unusual. Very unusual,” he said. “It’s not like some milestone to say, ‘Hey, see, it’s already happening, we’ve got to do something.’ The odds of that happening again are not huge, so it’s in my mind a lot of this is politics.

“What we really need is for wolves recovered (to the minimum standards established by the state’s wolf management plan) so they can be managed, and we’ll get to that quicker if we don’t take steps to kill them.”

our Commission at work  :bash: :bash:   
Honesty is the best policy,  but insanity is a better defense.

Unfortunately the term "environmentalist" in todays political lingo has become these radical eco tree-huggers that go so far that they put the environment over people at any cost.  They want no growth whatsoever.  People are not part of the equation.  Way back when I remember that there was a group of wackos that wanted to eliminate all fish from alpine likes because fisg pollute the water!  This is the Dave Jennings sea kitten environmentalism.  So radical that the environment is put on an alter that it is not to be used.  And no, I know that Jennings doesn't want to kill all the fish or any fish for that matter. 


It is worse, much worse.
Having written a book on extremist "environmentalists" a few years ago, many of these people are dangerous, to the point of terrorism. I frequently see these self-described environmentalists suggesting that hunters should be shot or otherwise killed.

You're right that they have fought planting fingerlings in the high lakes, and the Department of NO Fish and WATCHABLE Wildlife, far as I can tell, hasn't told them to pound sand. Correct me if I am wrong, but hasn't that program been scrubbed??? Wasn't there a group of guys who used to pack fingerlings into these lakes in special tanks to release?

Some of these environmentalists are simply nuts, they hate humans, which means they're not too fond of themselves.

The irony seems to escape them, however.

You are correct Dave, that program has been scrubbed long ago.  Some of them are terrorists.  Some of these radical animal-rights groups like the Animal Liberation Front and radical environmental groups are on the FBI's list of terrorist organizations.  Remember when a couple of members from one of these groups burned down a botanical lab at the University of Washington?  They destroyed 75 years vital reseach.  They hate people as you said.  These radical sicken me like no others.
